fducation is the process of drivin1 a set of prejudices down your throat. --Martin H. Fischer

Dorm vandals:
q E. E:. - \ WON~ W HO \ 5 \-\0\JL D
Men or Boys? The problems facing the future of Shepperd/Gridley Hall are more than structural or financial. The problem is people. People have a tendency to see things from only their point. of view. largely being unable and in many cases, unwilling to look at things from another's perspective. Now thcre·s a big surprise. Not! Let·s break it down: l11c students say il's a dump and the administration says the students are turning it in to a dump. Campus Securiiy says there's alcohol, drugs and vandalism, but it's almost impossible to catch anyone because residents are reluctant 10 come forward . l say you're all right. at least in part. Shepperd/Gridley Hall isn't the most spacious or Barry Whitney luxurious of living quarters. but Opinion what do students expect from a donn? Obviously more than you expect from yourselves. Nobody wants to talk about who urinated in the garbage can or defecated on the noor. Collectively it doesn't seem if any of the residents can find the garbage, even when they're standing next to it. Then there's the graffiti on the bathroom stalls. Almost every inch of the stalls were covered in graphic, disgusting graffiti.Mike Halpern, campus safety associate director, felt it could be construed as sexual harassment to have anyone work under those conditions, which necessitated their removal. Ptming up cardboard stalls was creative. but the same sexually explicit graffiti reappeared. causing the cardboard to be removed. Did you really expect a different result? From the outside looking in, you are only as good as the worst of you. By not stopping these individuals or reponing them, everyone becomes jusr as responsible as I hose who commit these acts. Saying "'I didn't do it"' isn't good enough. And for you miscreants responsible for these heinous acts. don·t you realize rhat your conduct has an impact on others? The policy giving res1dcnrs caught with alcohol a second chance was changed counesy of just two residents in a single morning. I can understand how some members on the Board of Trustees can be less than enthusiastic when it comes to oncampus housing. Would you let soml'Onc pee in your garoogc can ot home? Well, kids. !hat's your home. Why don ·1 you treat it as such? Not only is the future of Shepperd/Gridley Hall in question. but the future of on-campus housing as well. David Lindsay. Dean of Students, is attempting to put together a linancially viable plan to save on-campus housing. to lake 10 the NIC Board ofTrust~es. The board has already decided that on-campus housing must fund itself. and the behavior of students living in the dom1s has some of them wondering if on-campus housing is a good idea at all.

Voting: Only 8. 7 percent care Only 8.7 percent of students on campus care how $105,000 of their money is spent. . Is anyone out there? That's a considerable amount of money, especially if you're a starving college student! Only 287 people vored in the ASNIC elections that were held April 16 and 17. If you are among the 3,000 who didn't vote, it's loo late; your fate has been sealed. With all 1he controversy surrounding ASNlC in the last few months. we should be concerned about the direction of our student government. There have been people fired. people resigning and changes to the constitution that no one even bothered to review. How many of you knew what the constitution said in the ftrsl place? Here·s why you should care. Almost e very complaint you've ever had about this college is a direct result of the constitution that governs ASNIC. With the corruption that occu.rs on all levels of govcmmen1, it is up to us, as students, to be the watch dogs of our level. It is your student fees that are being handed out by the elected ASNIC officials. Your only chance to have a say in how they distribute the money is during the elections. Perhaps it is the lack of concern by the students that allows ASNIC to function as it does. If it were doing something wrong or abusing its power, would you know? We do our best to keep our readers informed, but we
cannot speak for you or vote for you. After booting two senators this semester, the rest of the ASNIC Board has amended the constirution to include a process for recall. It is conveniently just in time to cover their own butts and repair wrongs already inflicted. Now for an officer to lose his or her posirion, there must be a petition of 20 percent of the enrolled students submitted to the dean of students. The petition must identify specific officers and the charges being laid against them. Removal from office shall only occur when the number of Yes votes totals at least 66 percent of the fulltime enrolled students for that semester. At this rate, no one will ever be recalled. After all. only 8.7 percent of the student body even cares who is elected. How in the world are they going to get 66 percent of the srudents 10 vote someone off when no one cares who is on? Perhaps you didn't see the signs advenising the elections. We sure dicln 't! We also didn't notice any campaign posters or candidates out talking to the students. Was this pure laziness or could it be intentional? If the student body actually turned out for an e.lection. would any of the candidates have been elected? For those of you who did vote, congrarulations. You are a rare breed who still believe in the democratic process. The rest of you keep in mind; silence is the death of all democracy and the surrender of your power.

Dear Edi1or: Usually when I open 1hc paper and sec an article about parking. I merely shake my head. But when I rend the Feb. 29 ar1icle, I felt compelled 10 respond. The NJC students· preoccupation wi1h parking on this campus appear; to border obsession. All the energy focussed on convenient parking would be bc1tcr spent on studies. There really is not n severe problem with parking at all. How would you like 10 be on a campus that requires parking six to 12 blocks away from classrooms? That is the case in many colleges around the counlry. Faculty and inslruclors earned the righl to assigned parking spo1s by vir1uc of 1heir seniority. Also, many limes instructors have a multitude of ma1erials to carry in. much more so than students do. I have no doubt that those complaining about parking here on campus will take a 180 degree tum in opinion af1er they graduate and are presented an assigned parking spot at their pince of employment. lnstruc1or~ are re~ponsible for a whole classroom full of students. nol just themselves. If an instructor is detained while searching for a place to park, it is unfair to those studen1s waiting for him or her to arrive. The author of this par1icular ar1icle says 1hat faculty should exercise 1heir fannies across campus. Perhaps she should 1akc her own advice. Most students here are younger and have fewer excuses to avoid the brisk jaunt. Plenly of parking space exists in 1he library parking lot. It only takes an cx1ra five minutes of time to park there and walk. It won' t kill you and will probably do you good to ge11he exercise. The walk is less than two blocks to and from anywhere on campus. 11 is all mailer of planning your time. If people are so inconsidcra1e as 10 take a space 1hat someone else has been waiting for. all I can say is "Shame on you!'" And if you piny thn1 dog-cat-dog game. sometimes you end up being the losing canine. If you have no respect for other people's feelings, how can you expect anyone to respec1your feelings or complaints. Not everyone is going to get a good parking space every time. even if assigned spaces designated to instructors opened up 10 students. Most instructors arrive on campus earlier in the morning and would s1ill ge1 the bes1spots. This is no1 a major issue. Accept what you need to do. Either get here earlier or walk a 1iny it funher.

We admit they are a poor lot. but why don't you write what you think about campus life for n change and stop pigeonholing yourself.'' Although not a direct quote. I'm sure l heard it somewhere. I decided 10 take the sage advice of my editors even though as a group they believe Captain Kangaroo was a key witness in the Oliver Nonh trial. Below is a sampling of what "I thi.nk" of campus life: • I would prefer to watch a woman link an ice cream cone as opposed ro doing homework. • Dr. Pat Pidcock is a studmuffin instructor and I am intox.icated by her intelligence. • ASN lC is a valuable commodity on our campus and with the projected SUB expansion should be brought out of its subterranean place and into the forefront to improve its access lo students. • Anyone who has a problem and seeks a solution through the administrative process should find another alternative. Dan Bell Speaking from personal experience, I have sought help through administrators Opinion for scholastic difficulties in nuld langsyne and came away feeling as though I was passed around like "a whore at a high school football team's keg party." • The alley between the baseball field and the SUB should be named "Jack Bloxom Way" in honor of a man who through his tireless work with student-athletes is a definite plus 10 NIC. It was legendary Sandpoint coach. Cotton Barlow, who called Bloxom, ''The greatest small athlete I have ever seen." • I would like 10 be known as. "Dan Bell, a role model for the '90s.'' I think.

Bell: the somewhat sensitive As the symmetrical angel of winter begins to grow dim, a reactionary llavor of sca~ons past. spring is sprung. embracing a populace cager 10 suckle al the breast of a newbom mother eanh. Pc~on, associated by common intellectual and anistic theories. hatched over SUB coffee during shon day. long evening klatches when acute and extreme weather conditions confines their thoughts a~ well a~ their bodies, can now step outside to practical application. One can see a gray cat. perched contently in a reccmly buih, sunfilled window box, the ~ ulp1or and his four-legged recipient both the beuer because of the effon. On a hi Ibide within seeing eye distance of the campus at How Now Farms. a brown cow munches her cud contently seemingly unaware of seuwns change. yet instinctively knowing that calving 1ime is near. Schoolmates shume from class to class. posture more erec1after discarding winter's hunch. slow momentarily to gaze at the new buds dripping with a morning dew ns yet another new natural cycle begins. Over at 1he softball field. a whittler is carving a hean into the playing field, from a sparse. yet lively crowd. Fashioned inside !he hean is the sentiment. JS LUVS TC. Snapping his pen-knife shut. the whinier looks up as he hears the crack of 1he ba1. blend wi1h the sound of chords lxing strummed by two young college students signing a Bob Dylan song in the park. As the two sounds meld in the air and then dissipate like so much smoke from a campfire. perhaps it is safe to say. eternal spring has arrived. once again in Coeur d'Alene. Peace.

Jefferson: Led noteworthy, diverse life by Ryan MocClanothan Srn1111el Rtporirr he Popcorn Forum's presentation of Thomas Jefferson. performed by Or. Clay Jenkinson. pro"ided o chnnce 10 sec into the hcan and mind of one of the Uni1cd States· most innuential presidents. The commitment and dedication needed to nccur:ncly ponray such n complex and varied leader was di splayed by Jenkinson. He hos performed the role O\le r 1,000 times across the country. A bright red wool jacket complemented wi1h knickers and buckled shoes were worn by Jenkinson. He wore his hair in a pony tail , which was the fashion of the times. It was easy 10 imagine thnt it was actually Jefferson speaking to the audience. Jcnkinson·s ponrait of Jefferson revealed some of the less known focts about him. He was not an accomplished speaker. he was shy and suffered from a speech im~dimcnl. Jefferson did not make any of the required State of the Union Rcpons in person during his presidency. According 10 Jenkinson. the repon was wri11en in plain English. Jefferson viewed the repons rending :1s nn
T
"inefficient wns1c of hi s time." Jenkinson said that rccem presidents would benefit from Jefferson's example. This brought out a ripple of laughter from the audience. Jeffcr~on led n very notewonhy and diverse life. Hi~ rather long list of credentials includes: governor of Virginia, secretary of s1n1c under George Washington. vice prcsidem for John Adams. uuihor of the Declaration of Independence, founding father of the University of Virgin in and U.S. minister 10 France. Along with his long list of political achicvemen1s, Jefferson was an author, architect. inventor, linguist. lawyer. naturalist and philosopher. In his free time he enjoyed writing lcncrs to his friends, drinking wine and gardening. The response panel to the Jefferson prcsemation featured Mike Bundy as Alexander Hamilton. Jeff Jeske as John Marshall. Scou Recd as James Madison. Chris Stein ns John Adams nnd Steve Schenk moderating. A few of the panelists dressed to character by donning robes and wigs. The panel brought out some lively debate between Jefferson and his former political adversaric.~ Hamilton. Adam s and Marshall. Jefferson disliked Hamilton and Marshall extremely. but
01 times he shared n friendship with Adorns. Jefferson snid that Adams was. "more good in life than bad." Questions were fielded by the aud ience and were answe red, to the extent of their knowledge. by the panel participants. A fow questions eluded some of the panelist:,. but Jenkinson's mastering of Jefferson's per.;ona helped 10 clarify some of the replies. The main political opponent 10 Jefferson was the Federalist Pany. Jefferson's belief in a small decentralized government brought him resistance from the Federalists, who believed in a strong central government. Jefferson indicated that he preferred anarchy to government. but he believed that the nation's population was 100 large to s urvive wi1hou1 some form of governance. To help him determine what size of government wns needed, Jefferson often asked the question. " How small con you make our government and still hold the fabric of society together?

William Shakespeare was born. Galileo found himself growing up almost in the heon of the Renaissance, considered 10 be Florence. where he would return. a censored prisoner of the church in his waning years. It seems 1ha1 there was ne"er a time when Galileo was no1 in some conflict with either his peer, or the church. His belief 1ha1 the world must be observed with our senses to be understood. 1h01 faith in word~ alone would not lead 10 the truth or nature. was considered hcrc~y by the church.

Through his observo1ions he determined that, indeed. the eanh circled the sun. Observation~ in a book he publi~hed in July of 1632 led 10 his arrest. Galileo disproved Aristotle'~ theory that objects fall at a different rate. He also reponed 1h01 the moon did not have a ~mooih surfoce.
